GoodRead"Huh? What's so strange about it?" Dorothy pondered for a moment. Describing her feelings was quite a challenge.
After all, he had addressed all her concerns, and he didn't seem secretive when taking Quincy's calls.
"Gut feeling," Dorothy replied.

Dorothy paused, "Do other women feel this way too?" "Most do! Plus, you've always been a bit of an overthinker." Dorothy nodded, somewhat agreeing with Karen's perspective. "Maybe I'm just overthinking things." She said.
No sooner had she finished her sentence than her phone rang.
Speak of the devil. It was Quincy calling.
Noticing Felicity was asleep, Dorothy gestured to Karen, showing her the phone before stepping out of the room to answer. "Dr. Quincy." Dorothy answered the phone.
"Sorry, Ms. Sanchez. I just saw your Whatmessage! I've been a bit under the weather recently and haven't been checking my phone much," Quincy's voice was as gentle as ever.
There was also no hint of evasion or guilt in his tone when talking to Dorothy.
This actually eased Dorothy's mind somewhat. Otherwise, she would keep wondering why Quincy hadn't replied to her Whatmessages. After all, she deserved at least a polite response.
"No worries! Are you feeling better now, Dr. Quincy?" "It was nothing serious, just exhaustion from working too much," Quincy chuckled. "I'm calling because I need a favor." "Just say the word," Dorothy responded immediately.

I'm contacting him about an investment matter related to my father's company. I'm not sure if he mentioned it to you "He hasn't mentioned it. And if Everett didn't pick up, he's probably busy at work. I'll talk to his secretary and see if he can get back to you when he's free." "Good. I appreciate it, Ms. Sanchez." Quincy replied.
Dorothy felt a bit guilty towards Quincy, so she didn't see it as a bother at all.
"It's no bother! You've saved Everett's life, and now you're forced to go out of your way to treat me. I'm the one who should be thanking you." After exchanging pleasantries, they hung up.
Dorothy thought for a moment and sent Everett a Whatmessage: [Dr. Quincy called me, said she couldn't reach you. She wants to talk about her father's company's investment.] Not knowing the specifics or how's Dany's investment going Dorothy relayed Quincy's message verbatim. Whether Everett chose to call her back was up to him. Perhaps... Everett wasn't interested in the investment and was just avoiding Quincy.
Within seconds of sending the Whatmessage, Everett called.
"Quincy contacted you?" he asked.
"Yeah." Everett's tone sharpened, "Didn't I tell you not to talk to her?" Dorothy was taken aback by his rebuke, "I... I'm sorry, I just saw she called, and considering we still need Dr. Quincy for my treatment, I answered."
